EgunMogaji:Dayummm, welcome to Nigeria, the land filled with surprises, but l think you should not give up, do it in bits as you have already commenced even if it takes you several years to accomplish it, it is better than handing it over to rogues who will use your money to eat Nkwobi, isiewu, odeku, Hennessy & burukutu , suya & kilishi ![]() ![]() |

EgunMogaji: you MUST closemark the plumber 90% of them are useless arseholes who will DELIBERATELY block some pipes in the walls so you have to call them back latter. insist on pressure testing all the piping the walls and ensuring all the soil pipes are working properly. as always, they dont see it as anything - part of the 'hustle' 1 Like |

oyb: You mentioned pressure testing all pipes. my question is did you really do a pressure test on your plumbing system in Nigeria? How did you pressure test your plumbing and what pressure did you take the entire piping to? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:07am On Mar 05, 2017 |
ice4u999: below is lifted from an email to one of our contractors
plumbers may get away with avoiding pressure tests when working for domestic or small businesses. when involved in large projects, there is no story. you will catch it from your end users and project owners if people start experiencing inconveniences with water after moving in. |

I've noticed that not many new builds reported lately. Is economy that bad or folks don't bother to share anymore due to one reason or the other? |

EgunMogaji: Cost of materials is outrageous. Imagine 20KVA FG Wilson generator that cost 3.2 million a year ago is now over 5 million naira. Imagine 2HP Panasonic Ionizer AC that cost 130,000 a year ago now cost 280,000+ Imagine 16mm I bought 113,000 per ton a year ago is now over 300,000 Imagine a bag of cement I bought 2,050 Naira a year ago now sells for 2,500 - 2650 Naira now Cost of wires/cables is 40% higher than it was a year ago. The list is endless. The cost of building materials is through the roof. Many people have decided to abandon large projects going on. There was an architect I met on instagram and I askedhim to give me a quote last year October and he told me he doesn't take over projects other people started. This is a UK/Nigeria base architect. To my surprise, I woke up few days ago and boom I saw his email asking me if the job was still available. ![]() ![]() ![]() I asked him what happened again since he told me he wasn't going to do my work because other people started it. He said the recession is biting construction industry very hard. Those who are building now must be armed with Dasuki loot or have access to U.S Dollars. 3 Likes |

Greetings to the house I am about to embark on my building project, i got two quote from two different engineers, one recommending dangote cement & other BUA cement. pls i would appreciate if gurus in the house can advise on which is better for construction btw dangote & BUA. thanks |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:16pm On Mar 05, 2017 |

skelefish: Good decision though my builder opted to use Elephant for plastering instead of Dangote, he said in his experience it is better for that purpose. |

EgunMogaji: EgunMogaji: Well, it depends, because right here there is still a big boom in construction in my area. I have had to expand to Benin where we are doing a decking and to Abuja where we are planning to break ground for a new 6 flats next week, in Enugu we are planning to start a 48 room hostel, and a magnificent duplex, all for different nairalanders. I still have about 3 ongoing buildings started last year, and work is progressing there. Things are costly, but people are building, all my friends that sell building materials are not complaining too much of slow sales, its been a case of people getting more desperate to complete projects before things turn from bad to worse. 5 Likes
